Gareth Taylor hailed the impact of his side’s 18-year-old England youth international Lily Murphy as she scored once and provided an assist in an impressive, match-winning display for Manchester City that knocked Manchester United out of the Women’s League Cup.
The victory gave Taylor’s visitors immediate revenge, in the second Manchester derby in the space of just four days after the error‑strewn 4-2 league defeat against their rivals at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. It also set up a one-legged semi-final away against Arsenal, to be played on 5 or 6 February.
